Hi Eike, Now, when I open a csv file like sep=| "LETTER"|"ANIMAL" "a"|"aardvark" "b"|"bear" "c"|"cow" the result is sep= LETTER ANIMAL a aardvark b bear c cow Should the first row sep= be ignored and not imported into the spreadsheet ?
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #5) > Should the first row sep= be ignored and not imported into the spreadsheet ? Just set the "From row" number to 2 instead of 1. Note however that if in a sheet the top left cell content is "sep=" or "sep=|" (without quotes and any separator) and is the only cell on the first row then when writing the sheet back to CSV the then current separator is added even if a different one was chosen. That functionality of course is lost if the first row is not imported. I'll add details to the release notes.
